Earlier in my session, I raised with pocket Kings and the same player who I flopped a set against called with 8/2 sooooted from the big blind. The flop was pretty good for him, too. NOT. A/Q/X with 1 spade. I bet, he calls. The turn was a spade, he checks, I bet, he calls. The river was a spade. He bets out the size of the pot. Thanks to the ace being out there, I was already not in love with my pocket kings, so I folded. Later, in the almost the exact same scenario, I had A/A in late position. I raise and get called by the same player. The flop comes 10 high with 2 spades. The guy check-raises me from the BB. Since there are two spades out there, and given the fact that this player seemed to be most interested in playing pots against me, he could have been check-raising with about any possible hand. I put him on a hand like A/10 or perhaps 2 spades or perhaps just playing back against me because it was me. Who knows. So, I push all in. Unfortunately he had flopped a set of 6s. I picked up a flush draw on the turn, but missed on the river. Given the players previous play against me, I'm fine with how I played it. If you can't handle taking a beat like that in poker, you may as well close your online accounts and stop visiting poker rooms. Ahh, the hand with aces.
